Class GroupComparator

java.lang.Object

com.atlassian.crowd.model.group.GroupComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Group>

public class GroupComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Group>

Supplies re-useable methods for equals, hashcode and compareTo that can be shared with different implementations of Group in order to be compatible. You can also instantiate this class to get a Comparator of Group. Note: the GroupComparator is distinct from the EmbeddedGroupComparator as model groups take the directoryId into consideration when performing equals/hashCode/compareTo.

Singleton instance of Comparator<Group>

Method Detail

equal

public static boolean equal(Group group1,
                            Group group2)

Checks whether the two Group objects are equal according to the contract of the Group interface.

If you are implementing DirectoryEntity.equals(Object) then just write code like this:

    public boolean equals(Object o)
    {
        return (o instanceof Group) && GroupComparator.equal(this, (Group) o);
    }
 

Parameters:

group1 - First Group

group2 - Second Group

Returns:

true if these are two equal Groups.

equalsObject

public static boolean equalsObject(Group group,
                                   Object o)

hashCode

public static int hashCode(Group group)

compareTo

public static int compareTo(Group group1,
                            Group group2)

compare

public int compare(Group group1,
                   Group group2)
